Day 31 - Weight 302.0 lbs. - Big Push to Crack 300

I don't know for sure how I will do it but I'm gonna crack 300 for good. That's my next goal--not doing WODs, not doing MM workouts, not dieting. I'm going to turn my whole fitness effort toward losing weight below 295 as quickly as possible. I'll still do the other stuff, I'm just gonna tweak the work and eating toward dropping those annoying few pounds that dog me.

The simple reason for this is that I have decided to let God, through CrossFit training, determine how my body changes between now and forever. I will be eating right more than most of the time, and will make good food choices for life. I will work to grow fit and let fat fall away in God's time, not mine. But I'm asking Him right now to guide me below 300 for good because that number has haunted me forever, it seems. I have the strong feeling that having my weight begin with a "2" in the hundreds place will make it easier to relax and enjoy this ride, to help me take the struggles to heart. And I've struggled, hoping to lose weight faster than I have, becoming disappointed because I really wanted to see 300 go bye-bye sooner than this. I'm tired of feeling like that. I figure if I work hard toward the goal of dropping weight for a short time, then push myself as I continue CrossFit, I think I can count on staying below 300 for good if I get below 295. If by some mechanism it climbs back up, well, I will live with it. If I'm busting my butt and get below 295 I don't think I'll have to worry much.
